hi
could somebody please tell me what i have to install to get madwifi under kernel26mm ?
I tried to find any useful info but it seems i can't find anything up to date...
pacman -S madwifi installs for the kernel26
There is a version for ck-sources, but where the hell is the mm version ?? Sad

Get the PKGBUILD and install script for the stock madwifi package from ABS or CVS. In the PKGBUILD, change pkgname to madwifi-mm, pkgrel to 1, and _kernver to 2.6.19-rc2-mm2. Run makepkg, and install the package it creates, which will be called madwifi-mm-0.9.2-1.pkg.tar.gz.
If you haven't built an Arch package before, read the ABS pages in the wiki first.

thanks man, but i run into a error :
Checking kernel configuration... ok.
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.19-rc2-mm2/build SUBDIRS=/var/abs/local/madwifi-mm/src/madwifi-0.9.2 modules

seems like a file is missing, i have no idea were to look for it though
argh after i have dealed with the above there is something i don't know how to handle :
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
dammit i get some warnings about deprecated stuff, but nothing important...
somebody tell me how to shut this off please!
EDIT : here is the sollution for this stupid thing : madwifi-ng has COPTS+= -Werror in Makefile.inc thus as it was already told you compiler does not like warnings with that option.
Just comment it out and it will compile fine.

It's easy to fix. If you are interested, I can add a madwifi-mm package. But only if you are actually going to use it.
EDIT: ah, you already fixed it. The linux/config.h thing is quite common with newer -rc and -mm kernels, just remove #include <linux/config.h> from all source files.
